April 18 @ 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm

This session will explore what is means to be emotionally intelligent and how to leverage this resource within us to garner positive relationships. “Know Thyself” is a Greek maxim from centuries ago which was later expanded upon by Socrates who famously taught: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” And now, many centuries later, we use the terms ‘self- awareness’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ to express the same notion of self-knowledge. In this session, participants will examine their own internal identity and self-assess their emotional quotient. They will also explore various leadership scenarios and apply emotional intelligence to generate productive outcomes. Participants will review signs of high emotional intelligence and how to intentionally incorporate those in their leadership style.

Learning Objectives:
